Whomsoever We grant a long life, We reverse him in his constitution. Do they still not understand? 68 We did not teach him (to wit, the Messenger) poetry and it does not behove him. This is none but an Admonition, and a Clear Book 69 by which he may warn those who are living and may let the words of God come true against the unbelievers. 70 Observe they not that We have created for them, of that which Our hands have worked, cattle: so that they are their owners. 71 And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? 72 They derive a variety of benefits and drinks from them. Will they, then, not give thanks? 73 But they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that perhaps they would be helped. 74 They (the appointed Gods) cannot help them; and they and their armies will come (to Us), as captives. 75 So let not their speech grieve thee. Verily We! We know whatsoever they keep secret and whatsoever they make known. 76 Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent. 77 And applies comparisons to Us, having forgotten his origin, and says: "Who can put life into decayed bones?" 78 Say: 'He will quicken them who originated them the first time; He has knowledge of every creation; 79 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)! 80 How can He who created the heavens and the earth not be able to create others like them? Why not? He is the real creator all-knowing. 81 His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. 82 Therefore glory be to Him in Whose hand is the kingdom of all things, and to Him you shall be brought back. 83
